Epigraph

I must say I was the world's most surprised atheist.

-- Joy Daidman, "New York Post", November 10, 1949

Dedication

To Albert George (Bert) and Mary Greco Hayes, with Love

First words

[Preface to the Hendrickson Classic Biographies Edition] It is an honor and privilege to have "And God Came In" as part of Hendrickson's classic biographies series.

[Preface to the 1982 Edition] There was absolutely nothing ordinary about Joy Davidman Lewis.

It was a cold, clear Sunday afternoon in New York City.

[Afterword] Within three years after Joy's death, two of the important people in her life died, too.
